The old man still put on a stinky face, as if he looked down on Qiu Xichen: "Humph, you can run the company well without eating all day long, just by consuming your body? Why don't you come and have something to eat?"

After saying that, he smiled and waved to the assistant: "Little girl, come over and have something to eat."

The assistant was overjoyed, but when she saw her boss sitting down, she chose a seat toward the back.

The servant immediately brought over two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

The butler saw that Shi Yue hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time, and the original smile on his face had disappeared. He quickly greeted with a smile: "Miss Shi, this soup is specially made for you. You have to drink it while it's hot. It tastes cold."

It’s not going to be good.”

The old man tried his best to ignore the weird atmosphere at the dinner table, and felt quite emotional that the villa, which had always been deserted, finally gained some popularity.

Shi Yue raised his eyes and glanced at Qiu Xichen. Almost every time they met recently, they parted on bad terms. It had been a long time since he had looked at him so closely and quietly.

From the unexpected marriage to this point, Shi Yue felt sourness in her heart again.

Qiu Xichen didn't say a word from the moment she walked in until she sat down.

At this moment, when he raised his head, he met Shi Yue's gaze, and the two of them were speechless.

Shi Yue immediately looked away, lowered his head and concentrated on drinking the soup, but his thoughts could not be taken back.

Qiu Xichen raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth and said to the old man: "You invited the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family over today. Do you intend to get acquainted with the Zhou family?"

His words were too incomprehensible to others. Only Shi Yue understood them clearly. Her face turned pale. What did he know?

The old man looked at the people present. The assistant was looking down at his meal. The Zhou family's wife? Shi Yue?

He slammed his chopsticks on the table: "I didn't leave you here to eat because I didn't want to hear you say these nasty things. If you don't want to eat, you can get out!"

Qiu Xichen put down his bowls and chopsticks calmly, and stared at Shi Yue with his sharp eagle-like eyes, his sarcasm was very obvious.

He responded to the old man's words: "I'm just telling the truth. He and Lawyer Zhou are in love, and they are recognized by each other's parents. Marrying into the Zhou family is just around the corner. Grandpa, don't you know this?"

The old man thought he was jealous and angry because of Zhou Mian's remarks. He drank half a glass of water before calmly saying: "It's not my fault that Shi Yue was framed online. What Zhou Mian said was just to help her. You can't

There was a misunderstanding over this matter.”

"Grandpa, I didn't misunderstand. This is what the Zhou family told me personally." Qiu Xichen's voice was a little hoarse and her tone was firm.

Shi Yue's eyes were red. Listening to what he said, it seemed that he knew what Mrs. Zhou was looking for today.

She didn't care how Qiu Xichen knew it, but she couldn't stand it when she was being mocked like this.

The old man heard this unexpectedly and was disappointed and surprised. He looked at Shi Yue and wanted to ask for proof.

Those eyes as cold as cold water looked closely at Qiu Xichen, stubborn and beautiful.

"Yes, you are right. I did have such a plan. I originally wanted to wait until it was confirmed before telling Grandpa, but it's good to know now."

She tried hard not to shed tears from the corners of her eyes, and ignored Qiu Xichen's expression of overwhelming anger. She turned to look at the old man and said apologetically: "It was my fault for not telling grandpa earlier."

The old man was heartbroken, but he knew that the cause of all this was his grandson. He was angry, but when he saw Shi Yue's appearance, he felt heartbroken.

He sighed twice, but said nothing.

He stood up on crutches: "You guys eat slowly. I'm tired, so I'll go back first."

In an instant, the old man seemed to have aged several years again. With the support of the housekeeper, he left shakily.

When the little assistant heard that there was no sound, he looked up and realized that something terrible had happened again. He just ate a bowl of rice. Why...

The servants dispersed around, and the restaurant suddenly became deserted.

Shi Yue straightened her back and looked at Qiu Xichen with piercing eyes. Her stern aura was the same as Qiu Xichen's. She kept a decent smile and said, "Mr. Qiu is happy that it's like this?"

Qiu Xichen scooped a bowl of soup for himself. His anger was all hidden under his dark eyes: "To be honest, I'm not happy."

"You just said that the Zhou family told you, who told you?"

Shi Yue had clearly made it clear to Mrs. Zhou in the teahouse that she would not marry Zhou Mian. Why did it change when Qiu Xichen said it?

Qiu Xichen took a sip of the soup before replying slowly: "Who else would come to provoke me in front of me, besides your Lawyer Zhou?"

Zhou Mian?

Shi Yue didn't believe that he would say such things. Qiu Xichen must have lied deliberately just now.

Qiu Xichen continued: "Although I am not happy that you and Zhou Mian are getting married, I still want to bless you and hope that you... will not be happy."

It would be strange if he really said some sincere blessings.

Qiu Xichen has always been like this. He seems to be disdainful of many things, but in fact he will retaliate and is extremely petty.

Shi Yue smiled coldly, stood up, took her bag, and planned to leave.

When the assistant saw this, he had a puzzled look on his face. It was clear that the boss was on his way here, but he was still struggling with what attitude to use when meeting people later. How could he make people unhappy right away?

She is more anxious than her boss. How can she pursue her wife if she continues like this?

"Um...Miss Shi, it's too hot outside now, why don't you sit here and rest for a while?"

Through the glass window, the midday sun in June made the saplings outside listless, the sun was dazzling and the heat wave was scorching.

Shi Yue smiled gently at the assistant: "Thank you for the reminder, but I still have things to do. Goodbye."

The gentle smile in the wave made the assistant unable to react, as if he had been hit hard.

By the time he came to his senses, he had already gone out.

She hated Tie Bu Chenggang and looked at her boss: "On the way just now, didn't you say you wanted to ask Miss Shi for verification? Now you've made everyone angry..."

In fact, after being notified by the old house, Qiu Xichen received an audio recording on the way back, which was about the conversation between Miss Shi and Mrs. Zhou.

Inside, Miss Shi agreed to all the suggestions put forward by Mrs. Zhou, including marrying Zhou Mian.

At that time, the boss was quite calm and thought the recording might be fake, so he wanted to ask questions, but now...

Outside the house, Shi Yue got in the car and left quickly.

Qiu Xichen looked at where Shi Yue was sitting just now and sneered: "Didn't she admit it to herself just now?"

The assistant was even more speechless. Thinking that this man was paying her salary, she couldn't help but yell at him and reminded him: "Didn't you realize...Miss Shi was just out of anger?"
